If you got a love for that cde/next step look there’s projects that do it.

Users of the automated arr torrent and usenet stack have been complaining about malicious fake releases on public trackers which hit before the content street date and contain esoteric archive files that can run a program upon unpacking for maybe the last month or so.

The files are automatically downloaded by the users software because they match the users profile for that movie or series.

The users are mad that the devs told them to stop using trackers that distribute malware rather than the devs agreeing to implement filtering.

The only reason old archive formats are being deployed in that attack is because most antimalware doesn’t pay attention to them. Almost every modern archive format can at least open a link when processed but even the software that the users os calls to perform the operation has some kind of interlink built in to prevent that from happening without user awareness.

So there are currently malware crews actively and successfully targeting piracy networks and software.

Many years ago, one vector for mp3s other than extension-fu was embedding clickable links in the id3 data so that when displayed in Winamps playlist a user would accidentally or inquisitively make contact with some server. I first encountered this on soulseek.

There are also circumstances where extension-fu isn’t required. You can test this out on your own system by making a copy of some standalone program and renaming it with a wrong extension (say, .mp3 for instance!) then trying to open it.

Yt-dlp is the usual answer. There’s a script for when people have song chapters someone linked as well as the surprisingly decent mp3split-gtk, also already referenced.

Speaking as a soulseek user, be careful. You are now manually deciding what users you will accept data from with only the validation and security your computer or you yourself provide. It is incredibly easy to look up desirable rare recordings and create believable dummy files with a payload.

The whole video is just “turn on daita or use nym”

Full disclaimer: I been using daita since its introduction and that’s generally good advice.

It’s important to recognize though that to do more than just dodge the work WiFi pornhub block you gotta be thinking about your own physical security the same way. We are recorded by hundreds if not thousands of cameras every day and the ones not controlled by the state are controlled by business owners who cooperate with them.

At the very least, polarized license plate covers (where legal) and sunglasses/mask.

Just use the notes or reminders app on your phone.

If you don’t like that software then fish a bill out of the trash can and write your list on that with a pen stolen from the bank or the bar round the corner.

You get takedown notices because automated systems, or at worst the rights holders legal team, recognize the content.

If there’s some form of authentication in front of the content then the automated systems and lawyers don’t see it and can’t file takedown notices.

The hosting provider isn’t gonna be shuffling through all your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. They have enough on their plate to begin with.

If you’re using some kind of easy style make a website bullshit like square space then they might be shuffling through your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. The best way to avoid that is not to use anything like that and just write your site with some kind of program or by hand.

If you don’t plan on authenticating users somehow then you need to use a service that doesn’t respect copyright. If you authenticate users then you can use whatever (comedy option: tiny vps with vpn cdn backend.

There’s a lot of funny responses in this thread. What you change in your life depends on what you do now and how you expect to be targeted.

If you’re a normal person, my advice is always to speak less and recognize your surroundings. Recognize that the internet is a social media advertising platform.

I use air for torrents and mullvad (with their doh and https proxy) for everything else. Air came out to like ~$2-3 a month on a three year sub and mullvad is a flat $5 a month. Air goes through a gift card that’s not really anonymous but it doesn’t matter. Mullvad gets send a hundred dollar bill in an envelope with a number about every year or so.

Okay, so you got pots and pans and ten bucks every once in a while.

Don’t worry about that big reply I made, we’re going smaller.

Instead you’re just gonna focus on one recipe, the hoppin John. Beans and rice are incredibly cost effective and by varying the specific beans and grains you can use that rough outline of a recipe to make dozens of different dishes.

Same ingredients, but this time you’re buying smaller amounts so you can afford to spend more on greens and other vegetables.

$2 - 2lbs white rice

$2 - 2 lbs dried beans

$6 - vegitables

Vegetables is a crazy item, but you might get like an onion or two, a bulb of garlic, a jalapeño pepper, whatever greens are cheap and a half pound of mushrooms that are on special.

Cook the beans like I said before, but reserve all the leftover liquid and use it to cook the rice and make a simmering sauce for the veggies. You’ll have about three quarts of beans and about as much rice, but cook that 1 cup at a time (makes about a quart, 1 cup dry rice to 2 1/2 cups water) so you don’t have stale old cooked rice hanging out. Maybe a quart and a half of vegetable mix when it’s all done.

Make sure to season your beans after they’re done with salt and pepper and put salt and pepper in the water for your rice.

The technique with making a little topping for your beans and rice is knowing what takes the longest to cook. I always go mushrooms -> onions -> root veggies -> garlic/aromatics -> greens and pull it when the greens look like they’re really “popping” with color. For long sautees like this make sure you salt “through” by adding a little bit with each ingredient and any other spices you want to use.

Tase the food you’re making as you go so you don’t end up accidentally over seasoning.

When you make a bowl go ahead and put a dab of sauce from the sauce packet drawer on top.

Thats about six thousand calories worth of food. You can use different beans and different grains like grits or oatmeal or whatever too, so if you end up with ten more bucks before you run out you can use the same buying process to stock up on more staples and vary your goop scoop up.

E: I did my math wrong af, it’s about 12000 calories.
